]]>One aspect of celebrities which has always made the headlines over the years is the car collections they are in possession of. While the media might have labelled it to be extravagant, there is no doubt that these people just don’t want to compromise their comforts in any way. What you are about to discover are the top 10 biggest celebrity car collectors.

His number one choice amongst the different brands has always been Chevrolet. Some of his most popular cars are Willys Steel Coupe (1941) and ZL1 COPO Camaro (1969). He loved Chevy models as his aim was to be in possession of the top engines made by this brand.

He rose to fame by being a successful DJ. Some of the cars in his collection include GTO Convertible (1969), Impala SS 396 (1956), Torino GT (1971) and others. If you want to really discover firsthand the passion that he has for luxury cars, you will need to have his TV shows checked out.

One thing that has separated T-Pain from most car lovers is the fact that he has been able to have his favourite cars built to his taste. This means they are fully customised. Some of his most popular cars are Cadillac hearse, Chevy Impala (1969) and Chevy Impala (1972).

This popular American wrestler had a DVD released demonstrating his uncompromising love for luxury cars. Some of his notable cars are Plymouth Superbird (1970), Dodge Charger (1966), Ford Torino GT (1971) and Pontiac GTO Judge (1970).

A man who doesn’t just go for luxury cars but also ensures that they are fully customised to meet his needs can only be admired. Akon is one man who ticks all the boxes in such regards. Some of his popular cars are Ferrari 458, Dartz Prombron SUV (armoured), Gallardo (Lamborghini), Murcielago (Lamborghini).

He loved cars that he started dreaming about them at a tender age. As soon as he started making some money, he had to go for those cars he had earlier dreamt of. Some of his most notable cars amongst his collection are: Boss 429 Mustang (1970), Shelby Cobra replica (1969) and Dodge 330 (1963).

This name should really sound familiar because he has been there for decades doing what he knows how to do best outside being a famous independent designer since the year 1970. After becoming famous, he decided to get himself a Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 convertible (1971).

Snoop Dogg has been living the fast life for decades. If there is a degree to be awarded to car lovers, he should be sitting atop the list. Amongst his collection include Buick Riviera (1969) and Pontiac Parisienne (1967 fully customised).

There are two reasons to customise a car. It is either because you have the money to do so or it is important you do it. Shaquille O’Neal is a guy who is big in size and this is the reason why most of his cars are customised to allow him to use them without any problem. His Cadillac Escalade (superman) is completely customised. He also has other cars such as Lamborghini Gallardo (stretched), ForTwo convertible (smart) and others.

]]>The Millennium Falcon has gained a lot of love across the world. This is partly because it is from Star Wars and carried our favourite characters, and partly because people are in love with the idea of owning a ship like this themselves. Now, owning a ship like the Millennium Falcon is impossible, obviously. Nothing like it exists today. While we would love to give it a try, you simply cannot. What if, though, you had the opportunity to fly it? What if you had access to the Millennium Falcon and could ride through the stars with it, just as our heroes did in Star Wars?

There are a lot of things you would experience if you were to fly the Millennium Falcon. You would feel a mixture of excitement and fear. The reasons for excitement are obvious. Flying the Millennium Falcon is a big thing, and adrenaline would likely be pumping through you when you stepped into the cockpit. You would have a smile across your face and your heart would be beating as fast as the ship can go. Which is why you would also feel an immense amount of fear. The Millennium Falcon is unlike anything else in existence. Even if you have experience flying aircraft, you would not know what to expect from this extraordinary vehicle. It would leave you uncertain, confused and full of trepidation.

Harrison Ford made it look easy. As he flew through space, he knew what to do. He could maneuver the ship and even complete races at incredible times and speeds. You are not Harrison Ford, though, and, in our made-up little reality, this is not a movie. If you were to fly the Millennium Falcon, you would do so in real life, without the help of computer graphics. As such, you would have to learn the controls. This wouldn’t be easy. You’d also likely be overwhelmed by your surroundings – which would be unlike anything you’ve experienced while driving in the UK. Again, this ship is entirely different from others out there. Your ability to fly it, regardless of general flying experience, is low.

It would be fun to fly this type of ship, of course. Flying a massive ship through space, going wherever you want, sounds like a great idea. It would be entertaining, for the most part. If you can learn how to fly and handle the thing, you may enjoy yourself. You might get lost because of how fast this ship can go, but you will have fun in the process. Just make sure that you try not to recreate scenes from the Star Wars films, at least if you care about ending the flight in one piece.

]]>Supercars are usually built in limited editions, making the price skyrocket high into the clouds. Since celebrities own most of the supercars it is nice when we get the chance to peek a little inside the garage or hangar or even better, check out the star itself showcasing the car.

More than half of celebrity owned cars belong to rappers, and amazingly, 50% of these are Bugatti Veyrons. To create a better image of this, just remember that a Veyron was priced between 2.2 and 2.7 million dollars. While the Veyron is definitely something to catch the eye of any passerby, having a fleet of different sportcars is even better.

This is the case of rapper and producer Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent. Featured in MTV’s Cribs reality show, 50 Cent revealed some of the vehicles currently under his possesion. Here is an overview of the supercars Curtis Jackosn owns at the moment.

Lamborghini Murcielago

The car was bought back in 2005 to celebrate the release of 50 Cent’s second album, The Massacre. Initially painted charcoal grey, it has been resprayed to chrome, then finally changed to custom metallic blue, with matching calipers and ceramic brakes. The first time the Lambroghini was spotted in the metallic blue colorway was inside an Instagram photo posted by the rapper, showing him controlling a drone, with the supercar in the background.

Bulletproof Chevrolet Suburban

Living in the hood may have placed a figerprint on the famous rapper, as his collection also includes two Chevrolet Suburbans, both featuring bulletproof armoring. To be honest, getting shot 9 times is probably enough reason to pay $200,000 for an armored car that hold off bullets, bombs and even keep rolling when the tyres have been shot.

Rolls Royce Phantom

After getting huge money from his first album, 50 Cent bought a Mercedes C240 for his grandmother, then acquired a Rolls Royce Phantom for himself. Initially, Curtis intended to repaint the car, fully covering in chrome paint. However, after a meeting with the Rolls Royce president who should him how would a chrome painted door would look like, the rapper changed his mind. As he states “the car would have looked like a huge silver bus”.

Ferrari FF

Although it is not the first Ferrari to be bought by the rapper, the latest 6.3 litre, 651 hp Ferrari FF boasts a custard paint, or as Ferrari calls it, “Grigio Abu Dhabi”. In other words, it almost the same nuance one would notice on the cabs rolling the streets of Dubai. Whether this is the first of a new colorway set planned by the rapper or just one of a kind, only time will tell.

Speed Racer

It doesn’t sound like any familiar highly expensive, limited edition car, right? That is because, unlike the other vehicles in his fleet, Curtis Jackson designed this one himself. The three wheeled concept was executed by Parker Brothers Concepts. The maine attraction of the car besides it’s Sci-Fi appearance is the rear hubless monster tire.

]]>New BBC Top Gear presenter, Chris Evans is clearly sorting out his garage ahead of his motoring show debut. He is sending 13 of his prized classic cars to auction next month for sales that are being predicted as reaching as high as £11 million in total.

The cars, which include six ‘outstanding’ Ferraris and three Jaguars, will be auctioned by Bonhams during the Goodwood Revival race meeting at the Goodwood Motor Circuit near Chichester in Sussex on 12 September 2015. Anyone fancying putting in a bid can choose from such models as the 1996 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C, estimated to sell for at least £2,600,000. Or there is the 1971 Ferrari GTS/4 Daytona Spider convertible, or the 1994 Ferrari 250 GT/L Lusso.

Vintage Jaguars are also amongst the cars going under the hammer, along with a 1936 replica of the car made for the classic film, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and a 1964 police-specification Daimler Dart SP250. There is also a 1970 Mercedes 280SL and a 1983 Fiat 127 Abarth, so plenty to whet a petrol-head’s appetite.

Bonham’s director of motor cars, Sholto Gilbertson, said of the forthcoming auction: “In refreshing his collection, others will have the opportunity to enjoy Chris’ fantastic cars – after all, you never ‘own’ a classic car, you enjoy it, look after it and pass it on for others to appreciate.”

Evans is also parting with more than 140 items of car-related memorabilia and will donate the profits of these auction sales to the BBC’s Children in Need charity. He has been a long-standing supporter of the charity, which helps children and young people in the UK and abroad.

The TV and radio star signed a three-year contract in June to present BBC flagship motoring show, Top Gear. He replaces Jeremy Clarkson, who was fired from the show in March after punching a producer while on location. Evans originally denied claims that he would be replacing Clarkson, but will now take his place as lead presenter, promising to “do everything I possibly can to respect what has gone on before and take the show forward.”

Clarkson, along with his former co-presenters, James May and Richard Hammond, signed a three-series deal in July to produce a new motoring show for Amazon Prime.

]]>Jay Leno is a man who loves his cars. It is a well known fact that he has one of the biggest and expensive car collections in the world, with over 280 vehicles. The collection is not only vast but impressive; it contains some of the most iconic and important cars which shaped the current automotive world. To go through every car he owns would take forever, so instead I am going to pick out my favourites.

McLaren F1

One of the only cars to have the driving position right in the middle of the car, however that’s not why this one makes the list. The F1 is still a hugely impressive piece of engineering, despite being made in 1992; when it was released, it was the fastest car in the world, hitting 240mph.

Corvette Stingray 1963

I mention the year, as that is what makes this car so desirable. They only made the Stingray with the now iconic split windows for a year and then it was scrapped. Now, there are very few left and having one from that year makes it especially valuable.

Jaguar E-Type Coupe

Arguably the most beautiful car ever made; this one was added to the collection in 2013 and is a full original.

Lamborghini Miura S

This is viewed by many as the world’s first supercar. Built in 1969, it is also one of the best looking cars the Italian outfit has ever produced.

Dodge Challenger R/T

The Challenger is symbolic of the muscle car period and epitomises everything that was great about that time. It was Dodge’s answer to Ford’s Mustang and Chevrolet’s Camaro, but because it was made so late in the game, sales weren’t as impressive, making it even more rare.

Bentley Speed 6

The winner of the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race in 1929 and 1930, this car really helped to engrain Bentley’s racing pedigree.

Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic SC

When it comes to looks, this is my favourite car on the list – it is just perfect. Unfortunately Jay’s example is not an original, but a replica body that was built over a Bugatti chassis and engine. To be fair though, there are only two originals left in the world and they’re valued at over $30,000,000.

Chrysler Turbine

The turbine jet engine that can run on anything from salad dressing to jet fuel; this was once Chrysler’s vision for the future.

Aerial Atom

The stripped down track car that will rip your face off. This is something for the true motor enthusiasts.

Maserati 3500 GTi 0

This car is simply beautiful, there is no doubting that. The most amazing thing about this one in particular, however, is that it was found in a barn and carefully restored and improved to include things like fuel injection.

EcoJet

This car was built by the team of engineers at Leno’s garage alongside General Motors. The car itself is powered by a jet turbine and, as the name suggests, it’s eco-friendly.

McLaren P1

The P1 was one of the first of the hybrid-supercars to hit America’s streets; Leno’s version is one of just 375 ever built.

Chrysler Tank Car

This car was given its name because it has the engine from a tank, specifically an M47 Patton.

Doble Steam Car

This steam-powered car hit 132.5 back in its day. This particular one was once owned by the eccentric American billionaire, Howard Hughes.

Bentley 27 Litre

Another uninspired name with military mechanics; this 27-litre engine Bentley has the engine from a WW2 Spitfire.

LCC Rocket

Built by McLaren’s Gordon Murray, this is supposed to be a completely pure driving experience.

]]>If you are a fan of a celebrity and if you collect things related to them, then buying a celebrity car can be a great idea. There is no doubt in the fact that a diehard fan of a celebrity will surely consider this option as he or she will get a chance to own the car which their favorite celebrities have used.

Buying a celebrity car

Celebrities generally use and enjoy the finest things in their life. They have attractive and beautiful homes, they go for great vacations at exotic spots, and they own some of the best luxury cars. None of the music artist, actors or athletes will not use a car which doesn’t match their status and which may tarnish their image. This is the reason because of which a number of celebrities use most expensive and attractive cars.

If you have finally decided to buy a celebrity car, then the very first thing that you should know is that the car which you will purchase might be second hand in a sense, but in reality the price of the car will be much higher than the brand new car of the same car model. If you are a real fan of the celebrity, then for sure you would like to purchase the car of your favorite celebrity.

The best thing about buying a celebrity car is that you will get an extra edge and will have a feeling of owning a thing which your favorite celebrity used to own, this feeling might be of pride or happiness. There is no doubt in the fact that for buying a celebrity car you will have to spend huge amount of money. If you have that much cash in your bank account, then for sure, you won’t regret your decision of purchasing the decision of buying a celebrity car.

There is one more benefit of buying a celebrity car. If you have decided to buy a celebrity car then you will get a chance to own a branded celebrity car which will be in good condition. You won’t be able to tell if the car which you are going to purchase is already used. As discussed above, you will get an opportunity to own a celebrity car and impress all the people in your social circle. If you don’t have the budget for this thing, then you should stay away from this option.

]]>Let’s face it. Celebrities like to show off and what better way to flaunt what you’ve got than to rock the fastest and most expensive cars in the world? Here are some of the fastest cars in the world and which celebrities own them!

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Koenigsegg CCX

The fastest vehicle in the world, the Koenigsegg CCX comes with a 4.7 liter, twin boosted V8 engine that pushes 795 horsepower. With a 0 to 60 miles per hour time of around 3.2 seconds, and a best speed of 245 miles per hour, the CCX is the fastest car in the world and with some modifications, becomes even faster. Cristiano Ronaldo purchased his CCX in 2009 with a price tag of $545,568 but is rumored to be a customized version that reaches 250 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest cars in the world.

Ralph Lauren’s Bugatti Veyron Super Sport World Record Edition

The perfect balance of luxury and sheer power, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport comes with a 1,200 horsepower engine that propels this beast of a supercar to a staggering top speed of 268 miles per hour, which is electronically limited to 258 miles per hour. Guinness World Records recognize it as the “fastest street-legal production car” in the world. Its 0 to 60 miles per hour time is an unbelievable 2.2 seconds. The best part is that only 8 of them have ever been produced. That, however, comes with a hefty, base price tag of $2.4 million that only goes up!

Steve Tyler’s Hennessey Venom GT Roadster

One of the fastest automobiles in the world, the Hennessey Venom GT has a recorded maximum speed of 270.49 miles per hour, making it the unofficial fastest car in the world. As only 29 cars have been built to date, it does not qualify for the Guinness World Records title. That said, it does 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.7 seconds and holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest 0 to 186 miles per hour time with 13.63 seconds. The estimated topmost speed of the 2014 Hennessey Venom GT is a whopping 278 miles per hour, but hasn’t been tested yet because they couldn’t find a straight road long enough! All this comes at a very reasonable $1.1 million, which is less than half of what the Veyron Super Sport costs!

]]>Unless it’s somehow escaped your attention, you might have realised that footballers tend to earn quite a bit of cash…understatement of the year. But it’s not all an easy life, as when you’ve got more money than you could possibly spend in a lifetime, how on Earth are you supposed to settle on one, two or ten cars?

There are just so many to choose from, so what’s a footballer to do?

Well, admittedly they tend to change their cars more often than most of us update our Facebook statuses, but a few months ago a study was carried out to look into which cars tend to top the lists for famous footballers.

…and here’s the unofficial top ten:

10 – Chevrolet Camaro

Didn’t see that one coming, did you? Yes, the Camaro is a snip at around £40,000 and yes, it’s not a car commonly seen outside the US, but the fact that Chevrolet signed a big sponsorship deal with Manchester United might have had something to do with the quantity of them sold to footballers.

9 – Audi R8

The Audi R8 broke the mould for the brand in a big way, bringing Lamborghini performance together with an altogether more sophisticated look and feel. With a price well in excess of £100,000 for the upper-end models and 500BHP to play with, it’s little wonder the likes of David Silva fell for the R8.

8 – Lamborghini Gallardo

Over the top, show-offy and basically a slap in the face to anyone that can’t afford one – pretty much everything a supercar should be. And that’s of course why tons of them have been sold to the likes of Wayne Rooney, David Beckham and Ashley Cole.

7 – Ferrari 458 Italia

More sophisticated than many of its closest supercar rivals, this Ferrari is more of a work of art than an automobile. It doesn’t come in much lower than £200,000 and proved too tempting to resist for the likes of Frank Lampard and a fair few others.

6 – Porsche Panamera

Don’t let the four doors fool you as the Porsche Panamera is still a beast in every sense of the word. John Terry and a bunch of other big name players fell for the charms of the Panamera, which in the case of the top-end versions is right up there in performance stakes with the 911.

5 – Bentley Continental GT

So popular it’s almost become cliché, especially in the world of the pro footballer. Still, it’s a gorgeous car to look at, a beast to drive and performs like nothing else out there. It’s almost not worth listing the players that drive the Bentley Continental GT as practically any Premier League star you can think of already has one…or a few.

4 – Aston Martin DB9

It’s almost impossible to think of a car more beautiful or iconic than the Aston Martin DB9 – sentiments apparently shared by the likes of El Hadji Diouf and more.

3 – Audi Q7

Cheap for a footballer and endlessly practical, the £60,000 Audi Q7 proved to be a real winner as a family runaround.

2 – Porsche Cayenne
